How to Make Forbidden Black Rice Salad
- Rinse 1 cup of black forbidden rice under cold water until water runs clear.
- Combine rinsed rice, 1 ¾ cups water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- While rice simmers, whisk together 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce), and ½ teaspoon grated ginger (optional) in a small bowl.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently stir in the sesame-tamari dressing while still warm.
- Let the rice cool completely to room temperature.
- Add 1 cup cubed cooked sweet potatoes, ½ cup diced red bell pepper, ½ cup diced yellow bell pepper, ½ cup thinly sliced scallions, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional) and serve chilled or at room temperature.
